Christmas is a time for gratitude, a time for celebration and expectation! And it is a time for music! Songs of the season are everywhere around us, reminding us of the birth of the Savior, the anticipated coming of the Christ Child, the advent of the Messiah, and the JOY that is ours as believers. As followers of Christ, we have done more than just anticipate His coming; we have lived the reality of having received the Son of God into our hearts, of knowing Him as Savior, and worshipping Him as the King of kings and Lord of lords! And because of the wonderful gift of God’s Son, given to us, we not only hear the music of Christmas, we SING the song of Christmas, the Song of Joy! Songs both new and old, celebratory and worshipful, joy-filled and awe-inspired, soul-searching and soul-soothing, weave a tapestry of Christmas wonder that invites the believer to worship and rejoice in His presence, while offering Hope to the downtrodden and Salvation to the lost. In perhaps some of its most powerful moments, Song of Joy ushers the listener into the serene and peaceful strains of the beloved carol Silent Night! Holy Night!, followed by compelling narration leading to the poignant and reflective new song, Somewhere in Your Silent Night (made popular by Casting Crowns). That is followed by a song of invitation and worship with Crowder’s Come As You Are, encouraging the lost to come to Christ and give Him their heart. This song of invitation leads us into the declaration that He is the King of kings who will reign forever in the medley featuring Tomlin’s, He Shall Reign Forevermore, and Elevation Worship’s, Only King Forever.

In America, created by Joel Lindsey and arranged by Daniel Semsen, is the new patriotic celebration of the freedom we enjoy as Americans, and the rich spiritual heritage that is ours. Being able to call ourselves Americans is a privilege that we must cherish, an honor we must carry, and a gift we should never take for granted. We must always remember the sacrifice and service of all those who gave so much, real life heroes who made living in freedom in this great land possible—a nation where we can celebrate our liberty and worship our God freely. Filled with songs of perseverance, allegiance, gratitude and commitment, In America will light fires of patriotism and thankfulness in every listener through songs with familiar, timeless lyrics and new, compelling songs from Joel Lindsey. From We Are the Free, a song dedicated to the brave soldiers who fight to make us free, to the scripture-inspired lyrics of America on It’s Knees, and the powerful medley of Battle Hymn of the Republic with My Country, ’Tis of Thee and America, the Beautiful, In America reminds us of what makes this country so beautiful and what keeps us standing… brave individuals who are willing to fight for and protect our freedom, the sovereignty, glory and truth of our God, and our liberty to worship Him wholeheartedly in this country that we call home.
